Post of the Day - Steel Sharpens Steel

We promise learners at Acton Academy will:
  • Learn to Learn through stories, examples, mental models, recipes and algorithms.
  • Learn to Do by taking courageous “next steps” towards a goal and tribe building; and
  • Learn to Be with life feeling like an adventure, where you become who you were destined to be.
We believe that:
  • Clear thinking leads to good decisions,
  • Good decisions lead to the right habits,
  • The right habits lead to character and
  • Character becomes destiny
The crucible for learning and transformation is the Socratic discussion, which begins every morning; relaunches every afternoon; digs deeply during Civilization; and ends every day – over 7,000 Socratic discussions from the first day in a Spark Studio to the last day in Launchpad.

It’s little wonder that Acton learners think clearly, make good decisions; develop powerful habits and forge character and community. That’s what they do every day, as steel sharpens steel.
